Two Different Coilovers?

[tht1guy]

Ok so I have a full set of Tein Coilovers, but one rear damper is broken.

Not blown completely broken in half!

So fellow EPhatcher "USAF" hooked me up with some type-s Skunk2 pro S rear coilovers!

It is safe to run the Skunk2's in the rear and the Tein Type Flex up front right?

It's $420 to replace the one damper directly from Tein, so right now I need to make do. I have to put my car through Maryland State Inspection and it has to be at stock ride height.

Any input?

I personally think it's fine

They weren't designed together so the way the front and rear dampen and stuf will be different
along with (possible) random spring rates

But I think if you're just daily driving, I think it's fine.

U probably have the same spring rate all around now since s2 has backwards spring rates LOLOLOL.

For daily driving, u should be fine.

I don't understand

dude tein can repair if for hella cheap. it'll cost around 200 but its worth it, better than haveing different spring rate on one side
